Written By Laura Beaton

Experience the quiet magic of a winter night as artist Laura Beaton returns to the Donna Child Brushes and Wellness Paint Night to guide you through a meditative painting session inspired by the ethereal beauty of the aurora borealis. Blending the elegance of traditional Asian brush painting with the wonder of Canadian northern landscapes, you’ll create a serene winter scene: flowing skies alive with northern lights above delicately inked trees. Laura’s techniques, rooted in the expressive traditions of Japanese and Chinese brush painting, can also be adapted for watercolours, acrylics, or oils, allowing you to carry the experience into your own creative practice.

What to Expect:

Learn brush techniques to create movement and light in your sky:
• Explore the balance and elegance of traditional Asian trees set in a wintery scene
• Enjoy live demonstration and personal guidance from Laura
• All levels welcome – no prior painting experience needed

You will be painting on Chinese rice paper using Chinese paint and ink

All supplies provided, with optional wine available.

Dancing Skies #3 is a sample of artist’s work. Project may vary.
